I donked up at around the 9:00 mark when explaining how to drift for the second dair on sdi out, meant to say right not left. (the button inputs are still correct though)
I donked up at around the 3:00 mark when explaining the second method of fast falling the nair, I said dair instead of nair.
^ These mistakes will be fixed in a re-upload I make in like a long time when Luigi gets changed or like there is a meta advancement
Update 11.0.1 didn't change Luigi so this combo still works.

Thank you so much for this guide, it was super helpful. Luigi is always a character I've wanted to use but the 0-death was just something I was never able to get. The tips in this video really helped though, and I can now pull it off semi-consistently. For me, thinking of each hit as a beat of a metronome really helped me nail the timing.

[@HONEST-xj4rr]

Anyone else thinks it’s dumb no matter what you do there’s a chance you can die at zero to a long ranged grab?

[@zawaray4229]

Yeah

[@MrJ3ly]

to be fair luigi can and does die from a bthrow off the stage at zero so it's kind of ok. It does promote degenerate play tho which is lame.

[@sneakysnakesullytv8444]

For one, it’s very slow at 14 frames and two; is easily punishable if you start to read it. Also, there are a lot of other characters with similar combos that might not kill, but will put you in a position to be killed

[@HONEST-xj4rr]

@@Theplagued Doesn’t mean it’s not degenerate and unfun because it’s hard. Also Luigi grab isn’t THAT easy to punish

[@pizzawonderer5024]

Luigi still has an exploitable recovery and struggles with projectiles due to his kinda sluggish movement. If you have a move that hurts yourself, then use it to get out of the percentage window for zero to death. Blow yourself up with grenades Play pichu and spam electric moves Play Kirby and charge that hammer forever Do whenever means possible to get out of the percentage window for zero to death

[@j.b.8086]

Hey milkman it's me J.B. I had a question. So I've been drifting with dair really good and I just wanted to know if it was necessary to short hop before the dair

[@milkman5586]

sometimes the slight delay on the dair from the short hop is not required and you can buffer the dair, but solely buffer the dair will make the combo impossible after like 5%

[@hemman7931]

@@milkman5586 very interesting, so what do I do if a female talks to me?

[@azuelinitv6540]

Hey man this is an amazing tutorial... but one thing I struggle with is finding the best way to input the moves... do you hold your controller in claw? Could you show a video of how you hold the controller and how you press the inputs? Anyway... great video thank you!

[@milkman5586]

I hold my controller in a normal grip and just flick my thumb to the c-stick whenever needed, these videos might help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/moOzZoFpn82Xg6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHLOqWSQpMaKq9E

[@barnabasdouglas8219]

Anyone else just cannot get the fast fall nair? Cause I can hit the dair but eith the button dosent come out and i hit the ground and jab or I dont get a fast fall nair and hit sour spot then fast fall

[@evenubb]

do you have to pummel?

[@faceless1572]

Great video, but could you please explain how to consistently land the fast falling uair In more depth please? I’m still confused

[@milkman5586]

yeah, it's hard to describe the execution of Uair since it is almost 100% timing, so try to practice landing the Uair as low as possible while still fast falling.

[@thefatchincat7017]

How did you do the little dance at 0:01

[@sneakysnakesullytv8444]

Hey milkman. I can pretty consistently do the majority of the combo correctly. But actually where I mess up is the up b. It’s not true the way I do it. I dash up and up b, but sometimes the opponent can get away with a shield. Do you have any tips?

[@pizzawonderer5024]

Try to delay the up air more

[@bananamonster0]

how do i get the nair?

[@goran5844]

For me Mario is always just below the up b kill percent at like 79-80%. Is there a sweetspot on luigis up air?

[@DragonshotProductions]

For characters like that I always just plummet them once after the grab. Also makes it easier to land the dairs

[@TM7_ZAP]

Crispy.

[@luigikid64]

Thx MilkMan! It helped a lot. One question - Can I perform the 0-Death using just the A Button for the Dairs or do I have to use the c stick?

[@milkman5586]

you could do it with the a button since the c-stick is just a Marco for a+direction, but the c-stick makes you have more control over where you are and the timing of the dair

[@chesphendshil8270]

Your luigi is soooo good dude. wow, didnt expect to see you here

[@carlcarl1567]

I'm determined and discouraged at the same time. I can do the first dair but can't get the fast fall to come out and when I do I land it jab. Or I usually misinput dair.

[@MachuPichucp11]

Could it be because you are inputting rising dair? As in the a + jump shortcut. To avoid the shortcut you need to manually shorthop and then almost immediately after input dair so you can fastfall after

[@pizzawonderer5024]

Maybe it's because your left stick is sticky. Rotate the stick and blow into it. It helped my fast fall nairs become a lot more fluent.

[@carlosgarza6133]

I keep struggling with the whole combo😓 I gotta perfection it

[@DavidMartinez-hm8sq]

People always seem to air dodge after my nair so I can’t connect the 2nd dair. Help??

[@milkman5586]

so the problem is either you're not fastfalling the nair properly (indicated by the purple spark) or, you are delaying the second dair too much. I'd suggest simply practicing dair>fastfall>nair to fix this issue.

[@DavidMartinez-hm8sq]

Thank you sir

[@chesphendshil8270]

The closer to the floor you make the Nair before the second Dair the easier the 2nd dair is to connect

[@DavidMartinez-hm8sq]

So I shouldn’t be buffering the nair after the first dair but instead just try to land low with it?

[@pizzawonderer5024]

The way I learnt to do it is to quickly flick the stick down and then press A to to the fast fall neutral air

[@Alexander050101]

Why does my first d-air always push the opponent out instead of hitting them down even though I move the stick out before the d-air?

[@cheesethegamer_]

Which char are you trying to do this on ?

[@mdrikakis3059]

Don’t know if anyone will answer this but can the no uair combo work on any character? (Not saying it needs to kill but I’m asking if the combo will hit)

[@thefatchincat7017]

Nope! Certain characters are too short, instead use luigi’s aerial grab. The timing is way harder but possible

[@FernandoMendoza-rr8hk]

My problem is I do the second dair to quick and instead I just run forward and down tilt cuz I jump to early

[@pizzawonderer5024]

Try delaying or buffering the dair

[@coolsr6160]

Now how do i prevent preventing it

[@frisko8626]

I keep getting the weak part of nair that’s why it won’t kill I tested it does anyone know how to get the sweet spot of nair

[@chesphendshil8270]

Just input it later

[@SuperSpectrumGaming111]

fastfall and then nair before you hit the ground

[@jamesayewale5695]

Good tutorial! Although I think I'm just not cut out to play luigi. My hands are starting to hurt badly after unsuccessfully trying to get past the first dair for fifteen minutes.

[@nicktoftmark7320]

Quiter

[@pizzawonderer5024]

Don't give up after 15 minutes. It no joke probably took me like 4 hours to get the fast fall neutral air down, and even then I still stuff it up occasionly.

[@thefatchincat7017]

Ahhahhahahahahah took me a few months actually learning how to pull of the combo consistently, i am now learning how to do very specific combos to be stylish

[@mr.sandman7587]

I can get everything except the ff up air, so i can never link up the up b to the rest of the combo

[@pizzawonderer5024]

Try delaying the up air. The moves comes out pretty fast so you can delay the up air quite a long time before you hit the ground.

[@jacksongrove1888]

How do you do the Luigi dance thing at the beginning

[@python395]

this works with any character: dash attack and hold A. then walk and move the c stick the opposite direction that you're walking. All the while still holding A from the dash attack.

Well for me. Train in training mode but TURN STALE MOVES ON. And when you want to try again. Just reset it. Dont put the percent back to 0.

[@mranxiety9995]

And if your having trouble. Just put the speed low and keep practicing

[@pizzawonderer5024]

The combo counter registers a combo as not being true if their is a single actionable frame. But most airdodges don't come out until frame 3 so even though technically the combo isn't true, as the same time it technically is true.

[@pizzawonderer5024]

If they patch it out then the character would be scuffed. Even changing a move like up air slightly can make certain combos impossible. And there would be a ton of backlash if the zero to death does get patched as that's the main reason why some people main him.
